Urban stormwater harvesting for domestic water supply: a water evaluation and planning approach

Renewable groundwater and surface water supplies are insufficient for the current worldwide urban population as water demand is increasing rapidly. Usage per capita in urban areas transcends 160 liters per day. Climate change is projected to increase water demand even more. Sources of surface water...
